Animal hair

If you have animal hair in the car, it can be difficult to remove. Here, the best thing is a lint brush, special brush for hair. Alternatively, you can use a rubber squeegee, window squeegee, to get rid of hair on textiles.

3. Wipe the instrument panel with a soft cloth, a little lukewarm water and possibly a little soap if needed. Be careful with radio displays, GPS screens, etc., they should preferably only be dusted. If they have grease stains, they should be cleaned with soft paper towels or a cloth, a drop of soap and a little water. Utmost caution here!

4. Seats / upholstery of leather, wipe with soap and a soft cloth. Preferably wipe dry afterward.

Car seat belts can smell bad...

5. Car seat belts can attract odors, and they can actually also happen to get a little ice cream or similar on them here in the summer. However, the worst is cigarette smoke and sweat, which can settle in the seat belt and cause the whole car to have a bad smell. Here's how to fix it:

- Pull out the seat belt and put a clothespin on the belt.
- Wipe the belt with soap and lukewarm water. If the belts are really dirty, you may need to scrub them with a soft nail brush and soap. If so, scrub along the belt, not across it, it can scratch the belt.
- Wipe the belt clean with a lightly damp cloth.
- Leave the clothespin on so that the belt can dry in the extended position.

Vinegar

6. Clean the car window with a mixture of vinegar, soap and water.
